Profile:

Wasim Jaffer has consistently been among the runs in domestic cricket and was spoken of as probable India material almost as soon as he made his first-class debut. In only his second game, he got a triple hundred. There was something about Jaffer that caught even the connoisseur's eye - be it the insatiable appetite for runs, his steely temperament or the strokes that were an ideal blend of style, timing and power.

But with batsmen like S Ramesh, VVS Laxman and Devang Gandhi being tried out as opening batsmen, there was a growing doubt whether the immensely gifted Jaffer had missed the bus. When confronted by this situation, the 22-year-old Mumbai right-hander replied in the manner he knows best, letting his bat do the talking. He thus entered the Test squad for the home series against South Africa in 1999/2000, but he could not capitalise on that chance.

Grimly continuing to score runs in domestic cricket, Jaffer gradually forced his way back into the selectors' field of vision. He was helped to no small extent by the fact that Ramesh had slipped in favour, while Deep Dasgupta was not good enough as either wicket-keeper or opener to justify his retention. Accordingly, during India's tour of the West Indies in 2001-02, Jaffer got another shot at Test level.

This time he did much better, making scores of 51 and 86 in consecutive innings, giving Shiv Sunder Das good support at the top of the order. His tour of England, however, will be the crucial factor in determining whether he will be a long-term opener for the Indian Test team.(Samanth Subramanian)
